Abstract

A pre-timed control system consisting of a standard traffic signal was used to motor traffic entering the Baltimore Harbour Tunnel. Four different cycle lengths and splits were tested and the results compared to the uncontrolled situation. The increase in flow rates and speeds of three of the control strategies over normal operation showed that even a simple control system is capable of producing significant benefits in traffic flow through a tunnel.
